Once again the Cockpit-Fest and Aeroboot display areas were located alongside each other on the Southfield Site, which is now going to be a permanent arrangement. The two day event was well attended and drew a lot of positive feedback from exhibitors and visitors alike.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The museum trustees were particularly thankful to a host of people: all of the Cockpiteers and Exhibitors, their friends and families; the Aeroboot stall holders; the museum staff, aircraft openers and volunteers who helped during the build-up, during and after the event.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Support for this year\u2019s event came from the following people and organisations:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ken Ellis (\u2018Wrecks &amp; Relics \u2013 Spirit of Cockpit-Fest\u2019 Awards)<br \/>\nThe Museum Shop<br \/>\nJane Knox-Kiepura &amp; Kiepura Aviation<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As now seems to be the case with Cockpit-Fest there was a diverse range of cockpits and supporting displays on show and everyone who displayed at the event was a winner and a credit to this wonderfully diverse hobby.
